"It's unfortunate that those in charge don't have Sting advising them. He'd set them all straight on matters of international law in a jiffy. Then all those millions of people around the world who saw the war as a unilateralist pre-emptive strike without the blessing of the international community would would realize the error of their ways."

You always have been supportive and respectful of people with a different view point.

"On a serious note tho, it is looking more and more like the US will have to go back to the UN, which it couldn't be bothered with before, to get the proper approval if they hope to get much help militarally or financially. And with deficits looming and more of our troops being killed daily, I think it is obvious that the US won't be able to go it alone for too long."

The US never left the UN, rather other countries have been unwilling to support the process approved by the UN. I suggest you read resolution 1483.
